Expert Care for Oesophagus & Stomach Conditions

Intus specialists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating a range of conditions affecting the upper digestive system - including both routine and more complex concerns. Our oesophago-gastric surgeons bring extensive experience and a deep understanding of how best to assess, manage and treat issues such as gastro-oesophageal reflux, tumours, and swallowing disorders.

Specialist Solutions for Oesophageal & Stomach Concerns

Our surgeons support people with a wide range of upper digestive conditions, including:

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) – when acid or bile flows back into the oesophagus
Benign and malignant tumours of the oesophagus or stomach
Motility disorders, such as achalasia, which affect how food moves through the oesophagus

To better understand your condition and recommend the right treatment, your specialist may suggest advanced diagnostic investigations. Whether your condition requires medical management or surgical treatment, your care plan will be tailored to you.
